Princess Kamala and the Marriage Contract

Barbara, a retired Professor from the Borough of Manhattan Community College located in New York City, has spent most of her life teaching. She attended Morgan State University for her BS degree in Physical Education and Herbert Lehman College for her Master’s Degree in education. At a very early age Barbara discovered dance. She began studying and performing dance with the Bernice Johnson Dancers at the age of 14. Her earliest performances with the company were recitals and TV appearances on Soul to Soul. Barbara’s love and passion for dance has been a life time pursuit. After retirement she took a course in book binding and organized her company, Adzua Art Associates. Within the company she developed Adzua Book Art, dedicated to writing children’s books set in ancient Africa. Her greatest joy comes from telling fictional stories designed to inform, and stimulate children’s imaginations about ancient African civilization. With the writing of her sixth book, Barbara has found a way to introduce youth to stories using words instead of choreographed steps.
